Know before you buy
The Lexington Yellow Sud plate measures 6.25 inches (158.75 mm) in diameter, which is the standard size for a bread and butter plate.
No, this plate is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted and banded design, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the finish.
Each plate is custom-produced in Limoges, France, by R. Haviland & C. Parlon, adhering to the region's long-standing tradition of fine porcelain craftsmanship.
While the design is versatile, this piece is specifically crafted for formal dining. Its hand-painted detailing and fine porcelain construction are best suited for special settings rather than daily, high-traffic use.
These plates are not designed to be stackable. To prevent scratching or damage to the hand-painted surfaces, we recommend using plate dividers or felt pads if you choose to store them vertically.
